CIS rebuild service

Looking for a recommendation for a CIS rebuild service

Have never heard of one. The CIS system has a large number of components most of which are replaced or sometimes rebuilt by individual mechanics. There seems to be some controversy about whether you can clean or must simply replace individual injectors. Fuel distributors are regularly rebuilt, some more competently than others. Other pieces are mostly replaced. Your best bet is a mechanic with lots of CIS experience.
It would help if we knew the year of your car and its location. Someone here may know who to send you to.

Just some points to help or warn you. I went through a lot of frustration trying to figure out why my 73.5 was not running well. In the end it was THREE bad rebuilt warm up regulators that were sold to me by mainstream vendors that you would think would have quality parts.

The worst part was that it wasn't like we would put it on and find it bad. We'd put it on, it wouldn't change anything, and we would go around for a long time again trying to find out what else it must be. And note, the pressure testing of the WURs made them seem ok. But in the actual full range of actual operation, it wouldn't work right.

In the end, the one place that actually was able to help me out is Schneider Autohaus in Santa Barbara. I was referred to them by Bosch itself when I contacted Bosch for help, in desperation. I've been a loyal customer ever since.

Just for information on a customer 73 recently I needed the throttle valve compensator, STILL available from Porsche, however the warm-up regulator is not and they are not rebuildable. I was very lucky to find a good used from another shop!

When we were going through this, when we finally realized it was from bad WURs, my mechanic did indicate that there is a new adjustable WUR out there that we were going to try if the last WUR we bought didn't work. It worked, so I never got to the adjustable one. I sometimes think I should get one for the "just in case" shelf. I don't know where to find it though!

Hi Ed,
Do you have any experience with this guy? He says he rebuilds others besides 930 WUR.
